Okay, let me give you a more specific example, with just one of the
interfaces.

Let's say we've got eth0 with vlans:
  eth0.1, static config
  eth0.2, static config + dhcp server
  eth0.3, dhcp client

Interfaces may or may not be brought up on boot, or may be brought up on
demand by the user. Some of the machines have a different set of
interfaces, and we ship a universal set of configuration files with
configuation for all possible interfaces different machines have
(interface names don't overlap).
